Tempo
Tempogram
For tempo i’ve chosen the song Kilmonger from the Black Panther’s score. I think this was an interesting song to analyse because of its different layers it contains. In the beginning you can hear a flute, which represents kilmonger’s African background. The flute is pitched down and escalates into chaos. The next layer are the strings and they go up in arpeggios. These escalate and grow bigger. Then suddenly the music cuts out and 808 drums start to kick. It feels dangerous and they come out of nowhere. They have a really low bass and sound like heartbeats. The last layer is the trap beat, representing him coming from Oakland.
’’ note / I want to show these layers with lines in the plots and be more specific about what happens with the changes in tempo.
Analysis
Introduction
Hi there!
For this reasearch I am going to look at film composer and music producer Ludwig Ludwig Göransson. In this chart you can see somehow what changes he went trough, from 2013 until 2020. I want to analyse some of his most popular tracks. What made them popular and is there a relation between different popular songs? As you can see Black Panther’s has some really interesting findings. For example, “Kilmonger challenge” has one of the highest loudness (as seen in the point size), and “kilmonger” has one of the highest instrumentalness value. Another interesting finding is the song “Rainy night in Talin” from Tenet. This song has a really high acousticness, high energy and a BPM of 130.
// notitie
Ik heb het idee van mijn portoflio uitgewerkt in een word documment, maar nog niet in een duidelijke lijn. Ik had in gedachte om nog eventueel het nummer “The Mandalorian” toe te voegen omdat dit zijn meest populaire nummer is. Verder is het duidelijk te zien (op de volgende storyboard) dat er verschillen zijn tussen verschillende genre’s. Ik weet alleen nog niet of ik hier verder op in wil gaan, en hoe ik dit dan kan aantonen in de individuele track analyses. Ik denk dat het voor mijn onderzoeksvraag het best is als ik mij richt op de poplariteit en bevindingen in deze chart.
Sci-fi or action?
